Hello Friend.

I'm Harlan, a veteran Art Director, UX Design Lead & Illustrator in Austin, TX. Let's work together to make beautiful things.

DIablo 20th Anniversary

Challenge: Design a 20th-anniversary page celebrating the history of Diablo using modern design techniques in contrast to the rest of the website. The goal was to drive sales of the classic games via brand engagement.

After conducting user surveys we decided to design an experience that showcased high-resolution images of original box art and in-game screenshots to help players remember the feeling of playing the older games.

Interactive Fiction UI Design

We have incredible hackathons at Blizzard. In 2017 a small group of passionate Diablo 3 players formed a party and created a fun, choose your own adventure style interactive experience. IN. TWO. DAYS.

Challenge: Keep current and previous players of Diablo connected to the game and franchise as a whole.

We designed an unused text-based game with multiple branches driven by player choices. As the story progressed players could unlock active and passive skills as indicated by the icon drawer on the left.
